The shell symbolizes order, democracy, and civilization on the island, as it is used to call meetings and establish rules. The glasses symbolize intelligence, insight, and the power to create fire, essential for survival, but they can also represent fragility and vulnerability when they are broken.

The shell (or conch) represents Law and Order. It dictates how meetings run and aids in keeping order. Once it is destroyed, however, all order is gone and the island has plunged into chaos.
